it might be that the pro gear is already known the the pros who buy it.I mean, really..does a day go by for anyone on this list where somebody misses the latest increment in G5 hardware?<BR>

I mean, the last commercial I remember seeing was the G5 commercial where the guy gets blown through the wall or something. That was a looong time ago.
